New BfA meta mount is a complete shemozle

Ok so you decided to do another DF style multi-meta achieve mount. Great. Only this time you completely messed up. Why? I’ll tell you why. Because unlike the DF one you retroactively patched in, this one requires certain achieves that are basically impossible to get. Or at least not without significant cheating/win trading. Let’s start with the ping one however:

Impossible for those of us who have pings of 200ms+:

Includes PvP achieves impossible without win trading/not doable at all due to age of content:

Please remove these 2 achieves from the meta. You can’t just retroactively patch in achieves like this years after the fact, that rely on a minimum of 6 players split across both factions that also involves pvp or no ping issues.

This is the purple proto drake holiday meta achieve mount all over again. It took years before you finally wake up and smell the homus on that one by removing the pvp achieve requirement from it.

Edit: Topic muted due to too many trolls.

Apparently a dev on twitter said that the PvP expedition achievements are being removed from the Expedition Leader meta.

Oh snap, really? That’s amazing if so!

So the actual mount is Jani? Or his pile of trash that somehow moves?

Glad to see they are looking into tweaking some of these. The Assault kill corrupted one is likely the worst of the bunch. If it’s tweaked to be just kill even half of them that’s obviously better but still a horrible achievement.

Ones that require doing stuff in a specific amount of time are also a bit problematic for accessibility and just internet latency reasons. They can either be removed or tweaked to have a longer completion time.

And maybe maybe tweak the island expeditions to have better drop rates for the quest items. I’ve got all but one, and that last drop is proving to be horrible as the required island + mobs is just uncommon and you get burnt out frantically running it nonstop the few times it’s been up.

Um the devs said they removing it why u talking badly to the blizz devs they giving u what u want as they already said this on twitter seems u guys just want to hate on them constantly when they don’t deserve it

First off, check the dates on posts before commenting. Second, none of that address the other achieve I mentioned that you conveniently chose to ignore.

Pvp isnt even required this has been confirmed by a dev on twitter

Good lord can people stop whining for a hot minute

200+ ping in 2024???

Dude, it’s 2024. There’s no reason to have 200+ ping unless you’re using the most ghetto internet service available. Maybe move into the 21st century and ditch the dialup

Why is having 200 ping blizzards problem…?

200 ping is only a “Blizzard problem” in scenarios where players on NA are being put into Oceanic instances and vice versa. If you live in North America and rolled on an Oceanic server for example, that’s definitely a you problem. No modern internet service should have trouble getting sub-50 pings to all NA servers from North America (although up to 100 can be a max if you’re pinging their west coast servers from the east coast).
